Osmund—
Glad to help. I try to write a fairly balanced post, as I've sailed on both Monohulls and Multihulls, and like some of each.
Under some conditions, I'd have a hard time running down Gui's DC1200, but I could easily pick a course where I'd kick his butt... a few 6' deep sandbars would guarantee that... given his 10' draft.
I won't have the interior space of Cam's Tayana barge, but could probably run it down in most conditions...
So, you really have to consider what you're looking for in a boat. For some people, a multihull just won't do...for others it is going to be the best choice.
And yes, my legs are very expensive....

You know what the first rule of sailing is? ...Love. You can learn all the math in the 'verse, but you take
a boat to the sea you don't love, she'll shake you off just as sure as the turning of the worlds. Love keeps
her going when she oughta fall down, tells you she's hurting 'fore she keens. Makes her a home.
